Ha! Danny .. yeah, its a mad mad mad world!

I love the ladies who stand in the isle's of the stores, with their carts .. and gab away!
You cant go thru them, or around them and they know you're there!
You gotta almost say something .. like "excuse me" .. then they look at you like ..
you're interrupting the last time they ever see each other or something!

I love it also when you're tryin to drive out of the parking lot, but some fuck-wads
wanna just walk right .. up .. the middle .. of the drive lane .. WTF ????
Dilly Dally .. no hurry .. completely oblivious that a car is there .. or, are they?
I never saw anything like that, til I moved here to Florida!

Therein lies a major issue with this Country .. people simply dont care about each other!
When you're tryin to get things done .. go about your business, and people act as if
you are the one thats causing an inconvenience to them, by saying excuse me,
or simply acting oblivious to you by walking IN a traffic lane .. you know then ..
that this Country has a bunch of spoiled rotten fawks that need to be waken up!

It all starts with education .. as Fizzy says .. and quite presumably (and more obviously)
its very true .. and very, very sad!

A Hui Hou !!!

That happens all the time here in NY. I'll roll with the accord, they dont notice. I lay the car down, PSSSSTT, they dont notice, I Rev the engine they dont notice, I honk the horn, They notice and are pissed off, then the walk slower.

Assholes.

You know what also sucks? When your in public and somebody bumps into you/tries to walk through you and doesn't say "excuse me". It's common courtesy people! I was always taught by my parents that if you come close to a person and there is a possibility that you might bump into them, say "excuse me." I've pretty much gotten to the point when I say "excuse you" if they bump into me. Then I get the dirty look from them afterward. I mean, I know it could be considered just as rude, but I didn't bump into them, they bumped into me.

Oh man, the stuff you guys are saying about the supermarkets/parking lots....I HATE that shit. I work with the public, which sux and I work around registers. Our policy is that if there are more than 3 people in line, we open another register. But we still get complaints even if it's less than 3 people because the cashiers are moving too slow. People are spoiled, and when they don't get what they want...
The parking lot thing pisses Chris and I off too. They don't pay attention walking, then when they go to back out of a spot they don't look both ways before they move. Then, when they back out, without looking, the car that's coming into the parking lot is driving way too fast almost clips them. I watch this sometimes when I'm near the front of the store and I just laugh to myself at the dumbass impatient people.

Ok, sorry bout the rant...Just came from work and saw a bunch of potential accidents, or close calls, w/e you wanna call them.

One of these days, somebody will do something like that to me, and provoke me to get in their face!


YAY!!

The only real solution to the problem is to be mindfull of what you might be doing that would be considered rude to other people.

A lot of times, it is intentional, but some of the time, it is just a matter of circumstance.

As far as people fronting like in the aisles and stuff, in a subconcious way it is a compliment. Most of the time when people do that, they are trying to position themselves as the alpha in that particular situation. If you weren't a threat to them, they wouldn't feel the need to do that, so in a way, it is a compliment.

It is also indicative of the prevailing attitude of the Boomer's and Me generation. They just honestly believe that the world revolves around them, and that everybody owes them something.

I had an experience just this last week with a 6 year old that clearly thinks this way. We went out three wheeling and all he did the whole time was "I'm bored", "I want to go", "I want this or that..." Wah wah wah.

I finally looked at him and said "It doesn't matter what you want, because it isn't all about you."

You could tell he had never been told anything like that before.

Dr. Spock has parents convinced that they shouldn't damage thier childrens psychie. Yeah right.

All you can do is not move and hit them back, and then do what you do and say "excuse you."

But also try to be aware of your trespasses.

I remember this happened to me at the Beverly Center. The assholes were even laughing about it as they pulled in. I just drove away calmly, found another spot, went back to that original spot and keyed the f*ck out of their car. Both sides and the hood. Down to the bare metal.

You're a fucking asshole. Plain and simple. Somebody stole your parking spot (annoying). So you went and REALLY keyed their car good (property damage).

There is nothing even remotely justifiable about what you did.

Somebody annoyed you, so you committed a crime as revenge. You are a piece of shit. Fuck you.
